Yi Yun suddenly realized that the Blood Yang Flower had quietly shifted its position into a very secluded mountain corner. It had tunneled much deeper into the ground this time round.
It suddenly dawned on Yi Yun. The primordial herb had used the illusion to confuse him, to prevent him from stealing the Blood Yang Flower.
The moment he wanted to pluck the Blood Yang Flower, the primordial herb appeared. It was obviously not a coincidence.
Maybe it was protecting the Blood Yang Flower. Or it could even be that the primordial had accidentally found this Blood Yang Flower and it was planning to nurture the fruit before absorbing it.
Some primordial herbs would nurture high-ranked herbs before stealing their energy essence to aid their own growth!
This was similar to some primordial beasts who protect a spiritual plant for thousands of years. When the spiritual plant blossomed, the primordial beast would swallow it.
Yi Yun suspected that this was the situation with the primordial herb!
